Port Forwarding Problems and uPnP
Typed http://192.168.1.1 >admin>password. Clicked on Advance>Virtual Server. So far so good but then it says "“You must enter an IP address on Lan Clients page to enter this setup”.". This wasn't mentioned on Portforwarding.com. To take care of this error:
Lan settings> Ip address from TCP/IP properties of your Network connections (192.168.1.3 for me). Host= Anyname.
Make sure DHCP is set to static, as static IP is required for Port Forwarding. We need the router to manually assign an IP address for the PC.
Note: SSDP Discovery Service enables discovery of UPnP devices on your home network. UPnP Port Works ("UPnPPW") - b1.0a (Beta) 50K software can be used for modifying or viewing port forwarding entries.

Gyan- Upnp protocol allows devices to communicate with each other without your intervention. Upnp is not supported by all routers and even when it is supported, it comes with its own problems!
When the settings made on DLink Homepage is not saved, make sure you use, the save and reboot feature in Miscellaneous section. You can also save your settings by exporting it. This way you dont have to reconfigure everything while customizing connections.
